Questions about official Transylvania County criminal records must go to the government office that keeps the file. The Sheriff's Office handles its reports and detention information from the Public Safety Way complex, while the Clerk of Superior Court maintains District and Superior Court cases at the courthouse in Brevard. This private site cannot retrieve, change, or certify a record. The contacts below identify the correct local counters and their published weekday hours so a request can begin with the actual custodian.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference site cannot retrieve or correct criminal records, perform official background checks, issue copies, or receive North Carolina expunction filings.

Need an Official Record?

Use the office tied to the record's source. Transylvania County does not maintain one combined criminal-history counter:

  • Court files and certified county searches: Clerk of Superior Court, 7 East Main Street, Brevard, NC 28712; 828-885-3000; Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
  • Sheriff reports and records: Transylvania County Sheriff's Office, 153 Public Safety Way, Brevard, NC 28712; 828-884-3168 or 828-884-3169; Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The sheriff's official directory identifies Pam Harbin, Records Supervisor. Call 828-884-3168 or 828-884-3169 before visiting if the request involves a fee, identification, or a record that may be restricted. The office does not publish a general request form or a full copy-fee schedule. For a court file, call the Clerk of Superior Court at 828-885-3000 instead.
